thank you, i'll keep your advice in mind

So i plan on getting a DNP eventually. After i get my ADN i plan on working and gradually work towards a DNP. Would it be smart to just do ADN->BSN->MSN->DNP? I feel like this would be the best move for me where i could juggle work and school and not be too overwhelm. Im aware that there are programs that offer RN->MSN, BSN->DNP, but i feel like the curriculum would be more overwhelming, but i'm not too sure, however i hear that alot of people are doing the RN -> MSN route in my class. I learn that i'm not the best at balancing work and school so i like to find a route that is the least demanding. I know that nursing school is never easy, which is why im asking this question. So least stressful route to dnp you think? also consider the tuition variable too and whatever you believe is more logical. thank you guys.

haha.. scary. glad i still got some time until i start my program though its creeping very quick. I'm very anxious and nervous about it too. My advice is to be proud of where you're at, as in if you started working and you're clueless, don't be ashamed and don't be afraid to ask for help and just do your best. You'll only get better. And who knows, you're probably selling yourself short and you're probably very capable. Just keep eyes and ears open and learn as much as you can. I don't really have to much insight about actually working in a hospital so you could say i dont know what i'm talking about, but i do know worrying about it too much won't do you too much good.

Thanks guys, did not expect this much feed back. Love the nursing famillyyy

Maybe you are with a patient with bad diarrhea and you contract something like hep.

Hey guys, first of all I want to thank all of you guys for your service to the community as nurses and future nurses. I'm sure you guys are not always appreciated, and i commend you guys in being a person that cares when it is not returned. I am currently working on my ADN and my biggest fear in nursing is catching a very serious illness or chronic disease that i cant come back from. I've read that people build strong immunity to the hospital environment, but i feel like it is trivial if you catch something that your body cannot fight. I plan in working in a hospital, and i am determine for nursing to be my job. So i wondering what are my chances or probability of catching something my body can't really fight and any advice. -Thank you
